Dear Diary

A 3803-post collection

Sunday, Mor Stream Shenanigans

The Promptcast is reading stories, today. I'm moderating, of course. And probably working on today's tale during the slow bits.

I have my Dutch Oven in the process of seasoning right now. When that's done, I shall feed my starter, make The Bikkie, and set the dough-making process in motion. Wednesday morning, once the Dutch Oven is cool from all the bread making, I shall season it again. It will take a while to get it properly in order, but I have PLNS now.

Apparently, you should re-season your cast iron after every three uses, but I shall be doing it after every baking sesh since I use it twice for bread.

Feeling a little burned out and weary today, so I might have to be gentle with myself for a bit of a while. Or treat myself to a few little extras a bit more often.

Or gift myself some enrichment. I dunno. I might beg a day to do Nothing once all the folderol is over and done. I think I need a solid day of Nothing.

There'll be a Twofer the next day because I am just Like That by now.

Onwards to the shenanigans.

Saturday, Streaming Nonse and Other PLNs

My lovelies are off with Chaos for Parkrun today. Then they're off once more to unfuck their soon-to-be-ex location in Brizvegas. Leaving Chaos here, of course.

I have storage boxes to sort. Mayhem has the job of selling of usable excess to whomever may be interested in that stuff.

Pretty certain that some's going to go for a dollar a piece. Either way, someone's happy, we have a little extra dosh, and Mayhem is interested in that 10% commission.

Chaos has yet

Friday, Big Unfuckening

I hope to get today's story underway after the fam has decided to take a rest for the evening. Hope. If not, I shall commence piling up the twofers.

I expect to be spending a majority of my day tromping around and moving things. Lifting heavy objects or carting them hither and yon.

I might get a chance to get a few words in when resting my poor sore feet. Time will, of course, tell.

These next four weeks are going to

Thursday, Technical Difficulties

The servers got hacked and my forum is currently inaccessible. Yay. So I can't address any of the submitted prompts from the lovely people who put them there.

Fortunately, I have the sum total of human knowledge at my fingertips. That includes writing prompts.

I'm sure I can find something truly random and interesting in good time.

And I need to write something for yesterday.

The Archive has spontaneously developed "piss on the poor" reading comprehension. So fuck if I'm doing anything

Wednesday, Rant and Other Shenanigans

I have a rant entry due and it looks like I'm out of fanfic. It also looks like the editor I use for that could use a good kicking. Huzzah. AND the primary means of communication to my lovelies is also down and out for the count.

Don'cha just firkin LOVE modern technology?

I have a Shrink meeting this afternoon via telehealth, so maybe I can get something done towards my offerings.

Considering it's taking me all day just to write this.

Tuesday, Patreon, Promptcast, and Assorted Palaver

My new driver's license got lost in the post (: The good news is that a replacement is on the way via registered mail. It'll get here slower, but it will GET here.

I've done the Promptcast thing for next week. I still need to post Patreon stuff, and my lovelies are on their way up here for more unfucking of the house. I have Physio tomorrow, so that's when I'm shopping with Beloved for hardware-associated stuff so I can mend the catio

Monday, Sounding Board Duty

There were only two stories for the backup reads, so we spent some time sharing other works. Got some input to consider on chapter one.

One hundred and sixteen to go.

Tomorrow, I get the car back. With Beloved and Adorable included within. What happens after that is a huge question mark.

I have PLNs for fixing things up, but I also need to consult with Beloved about said PLNs. But thanks to my lovelies buying a whole bunch of nonsense for

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Changes of PLNs

In order to save on fuel and travel, Beloved and Adorable are coming around Tuesday to Friday to unfuck this house. Which means that I have to make sure all my appointments and shenanigans match those days.

It does also mean I have more Monday to spend on assorted shenanigans and maybe mental degaussing. Better known by daylight as "playing Baldur's Gate 3."

I can hope. That's what I'm good at.

The Promptcast will be reading stories for one day - today,

Saturday, Streaming and Stuff

The Promptcast is about to launch Bookish Friday. I'll mod whilst I can, but there's no telling what may or may not pull me away.

Today's story will happen when it happens, of course.

And in BIG news, I have put in the last words to A Devil's Tale and am overdue a big rest. Or at least a breather from writing an entire novel... or six of them in one hit.

From January 22nd, 2022 to June 12, 2026. Four years

Thursday, Progress Ahoy

Beloved and Adorable were unfucking their soon-to-be ex-residence yesterday. They're back here today to focus on unfucking the garage so we can move out the computer room so we can turn it into a bedroom so that people can move in.

I have ventured the idea that the garage can not only be nerd storage, but also space for spare fridges, freezers, and bulk shelf-stable foodstuffs.

We have a PLN.

It's just the other nonsense that tends to get in the way.

Wednesday, Breathing Easier

Today's discovery - I have been permanently exhausted because I've been having a Clayton's Asthma Attack for some months. Yay.

I should have known when some chunks came up to the outside of me. They were not a nice colour.

So now I'm doing all the things to loosen up the clinker and get some lung capacity back and some clear bronchii to breathe as well.

If I wake up at fuckoff at night, I'm taking a dose on the Nebuliser. During

Tuesday, Patreon, Rain, and Shenanigans

I don't have a lot to share. Not yet. Life has been getting in my way.

Today, I am seeing the sleep study people to find out what they're saying about my slumber. Amongst many other things.

Patreon. Daily tale. Continuing to try unriddling the house contents, which will include the arrival of a skip into the driveway. All the better to remove the true debris.

And I just got a reminder that I'm due a blood test for the experts. I

Monday, Assorted Shenanigannery

We have a Plan, not a PLN. So that's something. The Plan, as I understand it, is to clear out the garage and turn it into the new computer room so that the extant computer room is free to become a bedroom again.

There's a PLN to turn the patio into a catio extension so that NannaDorbs will have somewhere to smoke. FTR she rolls her own so I should have few issues with the tobacco.

Yesterday, Beloved and Adorable rolled in,

Sunday, The Shenanigans Commence

Things be fucked up in family 'Nutter. I'll give you the Cliff Notes.

  • Landlord has decided not to renew Adorable's lease
  • Whole fam has two months to find new digs
  • My place is temporary base
  • For everyone

Good news: We're going to save a bit of money by only supporting one house.
Bad news: It's looking to be UTTER FUCKING CHAOS for two to three months, minimum
Good news: At least I got the firkin sink completely unclogged before anyone else could
